Autodesk ARC (Academic Resource Center)
Autodesk recently announced a new education licensing program providing faculty and students with access to their most popular software applications free of charge.

Beginning in 2015, when the current contract expires, administrative departments will no longer be eligible to use the campus concurrent use licenses for Autodesk software.
